AleksandarTale Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi everyone! :)I'm Alex and I'm from Macedonia. I discovered ASoIaF thanks to the HBO TV Series. As soon as it finished I started reading the books. I've read all of them and I can't wait for The Winds of Winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchosaurus Rex Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I watched the HBO series last spring, bought the books the day after I finished "Fire and Blood," and read them over the summer. I'm from Florida but am finishing up graduate school in California. The North will rise again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyron Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hello and welcome fellow ASoIaFians! (yeah, I just made that word up, but it will not catch on I'm sure, it's a bit hard to pronounce)I'm rather new to this board myself, only been on since September actually, but have spent far more time here than I should. There are so much interesting stuff to find here, and I can recommend trying to find old threads that discuss the topics you are interested in, that gives a lot of insights and creates new ideas. Sometimes the search function is turned off though, but it's always worth a try. I hope you'll have fun, I know I do :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Spearwife Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ah, yeah, I'm new... Like most people who've joined in the past year (I'm assuming), I was introduced through the show. I started the books last September and finished them a few days ago. I normally finish books quickly, too. That was quite an undertaking. But I'm finally ready for analysis and discussion so here we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Of The North Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hey there, I'm new to this forum (and forums in general).I was introduced to ASOIAF by the HBO show, but then I read the books pretty much back-to-back, and I can't stop obsessing over them. So that's why I finally decided to join this forum, and I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions. Hope to be active :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrenna Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Good day to you all :)I've been reading threads here for a while now; seeing a reference to a bunch of threads discussing relationships between things and beings at the Wall (Heresy threads) I started reading the first and just knew I'd actually have a (hopefully new/useful) thing or two to say about that particular topic. Looking forward to actually participating in the discussions.No, my screen name does not derive from World of Warcraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oOtalOo Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi people, Im Tal.I was introduced to the series by the HBO show and loved it.I intended to buy the books, but then I saw that books 4 and 5 ruined the series for many people.So I wanted to ask you if you would still recommend me to read the books?By the way, I thought that this is the right place to ask (since Im new here), but if there is a better place please tell me, thanks.

eupfhoria Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 just joined today, got introduced to the series in...2003? Maybe '04? (by lurking on a forum and seeing people recommend GRRM consistently) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hmmm, weird. Thought I'd just done this. Anyways, cheers all. I'm James from Canada. Glad I found this place, seems cool so far.

MysteriousStranger08 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 HiDiscovered the series last year, through a few trailers for the show. Got the first two books for a bit of summer reading. Finished book 5 around early autumn. A huge fan now, and currently watching the series on Blu-ray.One of the best fantasy series' ever, if not the best!

Merman of Manderly Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi! I've been lurking on here for a while, and finally decided to create an account. I'm absolutely obsessed with the series and waiting for TWoW is driving me crazier than King Aerys! Looking forward to discussing the books with you guys! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow179 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi guys, I too have been lurking (mostly at the R+L=Jon thread). I got into game of thrones by watching some episodes on HBO, and I've finished the 5 books so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerulean Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hi. I'm Ceru, and I have a serious addiction. I need help. I have no friends to indulge in my addiction with me, said addiction of course being the SoIaF series. :D Okay, so I've forced a few people to watch the HBO series with me, to try and entice them into reading the books... but it seems I am the only person I associate with who enjoys reading books, especially those which in hardback form could be used as blunt objects in an epic fantasy style coup. :)Seriously though... I've been reading threads and lurking on here anonymously for some time. So many of the theories presented here have awakened something in me. I always had so many questions, and the topics discussed here have been engrossing me during my free time - soon to dwindle further, as I start school again for my IT degree next week. I am currently reading Storm of Swords for the 4th time or so. I have been reading the books in order since I first picked them up back in August. My introduction to the series had absolutely NOTHING to do directly with the HBO series - a friend of mine saw the books, most likely revived to front-shelf fame thanks to the TV series, and picked them up. She recommended them to me and loaned me GoT which I promptly devoured (in about a day and a half) and drove to her house (roughly an hour away) to claim the remainder of the books. After that, I've been hooked. I have been reading and re-reading these novels without taking a break to read any other author - that's how hooked I am. I do occasionally tend to be somewhat egregiously long-winded, a style I no doubt picked up from my readings of another former favorite author who wrote in a very flourished style. Forgive me if I digress from my original point from time to time - I may talk myself in a circle, but I will always try to clarify somehow.Now, back to browsing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
